Yesterday finished strong with an outreach in a public school here in Managua. We had between 500-600 young adults gather at the school to watch a few powerful dramas and here the word. Many people responded to the invitation to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (Ashley Foody did a great job with her testimony and gospel presentation)! The team has ministered to thousands of people this whole week. We have seen many salvation's, healings, and divine favor!
Today was a nice day hanging out together in the bat cave, shopping and at the volcano. There will be many pictures to share with you all when the team gets back home. We just finished up a marriage seminar tonight at the church and I spoke on having "vision in your marriage". Currently the XA team is serving dinner to the couples and their families in the fellowship hall across the street from the church. Tomorrow I will leave the team early in the morning to catch my flight back to the states so I can fly to New Orleans to meet another team of 40 people to rebuild homes in St. Bernard Perish. Please pray for my strength and traveling. Also the team will have another full day of ministry in Nicaragua before flying out Sunday morning. They will have 1 school assembly tomorrow morning and then go and minister to people in the city dump (poverty at its best), and then the team will come back to the church and have a few work projects to bless the local church here in Managua. (painting and some other stuff)
**Thank you for your prayers and support to make this week possible!
Thank you, again, Pastor Brandon, for your guidance and leadership to the group! We will be praying for the Lord's protection during your travels to New Orleans, and for your family back home! May the Lord continue to be with the group during their remaining time in Nicaragua,give them safe traveling mercies home, and bless them for their faithfulness! We look forward to hearing the testimonies when Rick returns! Thank you also for your faithfulness to the Lord! God bless!
